"This person is definitely a big shot."

Lu Wangsheng has met many people, but people like Chen Sheng, who are dignified and extraordinary, are rare in the world.

There was another cause and effect of saving lives and the Thimble Chamber of Commerce. He bowed deeply and said, "Sir, I will never forget your great kindness."

Before he was hit, he was already feeling desolate and confused, thinking that all was over.

Unexpectedly, after waking up, there was still time to change everything, and I even got to know such a powerful person, which was truly a pleasant surprise.

"You're welcome."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

He didn't stay in this room for too long. He thought that Lu, Wang Sheng and the other two had too much information to communicate, and it was inconvenient for him, an outsider, to stay.

Afterwards, Lu Shaoqing told Lu Wangsheng about his experiences during this period. After listening to it, Lu Wangsheng was very scared and extremely grateful to Chen Sheng.

Just as he thought before he was tricked, the Lord of Fencheng attacked Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for the variable of Chen Sheng, he would have to lie down and die, the Chamber of Commerce would have changed hands, and all his relatives and subordinates would have died.

There is a chance to choose again.

This time, Lu Wangsheng decided to plan carefully to fight against the Lord of Burning City, and asked Lu Shaoqing to do another thing.

…

"Now that the president has woken up, you can worry less."

In the small courtyard where Chen Sheng was, Lu Shaoqing came. His two willow-shaped eyebrows were stretched out, without any lingering sorrow. His eyes were like water, shining brightly, and his whole person had a touch of brilliant charm.

Mr. Chen was happy for the girl, as she no longer had to struggle forward with such a heavy burden on her shoulders.

"The danger from the Lord of Burning City still looms over the Thimble Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Shaoqing's pressure has indeed been reduced, but the pressure from the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce has always been heavy.

The Lord of Burning City has already regarded the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce as his own possession. There will be a lot of subsequent targeting, so we must be on guard as soon as possible.

"I countered your moves..."

Mr. Chen told the truth.

The Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce is at a disadvantage, so it can only defend and wait for an opportunity.

"Sir, you have helped Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce a lot this time. My father said that if it is possible, he will do his best to accomplish it for you."

Then, Lu Shaoqing stated the purpose of this trip. Lu Wangsheng's gratitude would not be expressed verbally. The president wanted to establish a good relationship with Mr. Chen.

"I am very interested in some of the past events of the Yuan and Liang dynasties."

Mr. Chen did not refuse this. He thought Lu Wangsheng was a knowledgeable businessman and might be able to bring him unexpected surprises.

“I see…”

Lu Shaoqing nodded and went back to convey Chen Sheng's request.

…

After Lu Wangsheng woke up, he stabilized the situation of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce. He first rewarded the monks who insisted on staying, and then spent money lavishly to recruit soldiers and horses to resist possible dangers.

Of course, Chen Sheng was also collecting the ancient calendar secrets that he needed, but they were suppressed in the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

Naturally, these movements could not be concealed from the City Lord's Mansion.

In a slightly dim hall, there were three figures standing, two middle-aged men, who were the owner of Baibao Tower and the leader of the enemy family.

The remaining person was an old man with flowing white hair like clouds, a tall stature, and a pair of tiger eyes under his thick eyebrows, looking very majestic.

He is the Lord of Burning City, controlling all aspects of power in Burning City and having extraordinary means.

"Lu Wangsheng is awake? How lucky."

Qinghuo discussed the affairs of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce. Lu Wangsheng's awakening was beyond their expectations and it was also a rare failure for the Lord of Fencheng.

"It's not just luck, someone lent him a helping hand."

The Lord of Burning City shook his head. Lu Wangsheng’s soul had been sealed, so there was no way he could wake up naturally.

A person emerged in his mind. He was the only variable in the entire Fencheng.

"My Lord, are you talking about the mysterious boy?"

Ma Xuezheng thought of Chen Sheng, a young man who rejected their kindness, was unruly and conceited, and insisted on having his own way.

"I'm not mistaken, he does have some skills."

The Lord of the Burning City has a calm mentality, which can be said to be a strong self-confidence. No matter what the variables outside are, he can deal with them calmly.

"Lu Wangsheng is still not giving up. He is gathering people and horses to fight against us."

Qing Huo had already received the news that Lu Wangsheng had spent money lavishly, with good results, and had won over a large number of cultivators.

He was worried that if the matter was delayed any further, the situation would become more complicated.

"Since we can't quietly accept the Thimble Chamber of Commerce, let them feel the power of me, the Lord of Burning City."

The Lord of Fencheng looked calm. Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce was the key to his complete control over Fencheng and even outward development. He was determined to obtain it. If Lu Wangsheng was willing to make the effort, then all obstacles would be laid out in the open and cleared away once again. There would be no more setbacks in the future.

Chen Sheng did not get involved in the contest between Lu Wangsheng and the Lord of Fencheng. He spent most of his time in the Scripture Pavilion of Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce.

Although there are no secrets of the Yuanliang Dynasty here, there is some basic knowledge that can help him better understand this ancient country.

Yes, ancient.

The history of the Yuanliang Dynasty is extremely long, lasting as long as 30,000 years. During this long period of development, many aristocratic families were born, with complicated human relationships and intricate connections.

Unlike the numerous sects in the border areas, the immortal cultivation sects here are relatively rare and are also under the control of the Yuanliang Dynasty, with no intention of transcending.

This is a strict immortal dynasty, with one level pressing on another, and it is even a bit oppressive.

After thirty thousand years, the things that have been left behind are extremely complex. There is everything, injustice, blood, and glory. It is not surprising at all.

In some places, things were simply too repressed, leading to madness and corruption, and then huge riots broke out. The Yuan and Liang dynasties sent troops to suppress them, but they kept recurring and could not be eradicated.

"It's my fault that I haven't met you since I woke up."

Lu Wangsheng walked into the Sutra Library. He looked very healthy, not pale as if he had been bedridden for a long time. He was well-dressed, with neat sideburns, and he looked smart and capable.

This time, he came specifically to thank Mr. Chen. After waking up, he had no time because he was taking care of the affairs of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce.

"How is the situation of the Thimble Guild?"

Mr. Chen didn't care and understood how difficult it was for Lu Wangsheng, so he asked about the results of the past few days.

"The situation has been stabilized for now."

Lu Wangsheng was under a lot of pressure, but he did not complain to Chen Sheng. Instead, he said, "I heard from Xiaoqing that the young master is interested in some ancient history of the Yuanliang Dynasty."

He had been worrying about this matter for a long time, and he had waited until this time to come here in order to summarize the information.

"Could it be that the president knows some secrets?"

Mr. Chen said happily.

"Although I am in charge of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce, looking at the world of Yuanliang, I am really insignificant and cannot get information from higher levels."

Lu Wangsheng smiled bitterly. Only a top-notch official in the heavens could have the chance to know the most secrets of the Yuanliang Dynasty.

He seemed to spend money like water, but there was still a long way to go between him and those big shots who could change the rules of a place with just the stomping of their feet.

"That's the reason..."

Mr. Chen was a little disappointed. Lu Wangsheng was a man in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and could be considered a strong man. He also had a Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce with a lot of money. But even such a man couldn't help him solve his doubts. It would take him quite a while to find someone who knew the situation and was willing to help him solve his doubts.

"There is a place that is likely to hide the secret that you want to know."

"where?"

Mr. Chen asked.

"The imperial treasury records the history of the world."

Lu Wangsheng thought very carefully and made a lot of efforts. He said to Chen Sheng: "Right now, there is an opportunity to enter the storage room, but we have to fight for it. I wonder what you are willing to do?"

This was a subordinate position of the Tibetan keeper, and the competition was fierce. He spent a lot of money, went around to various parties, and tried to make connections, but he still couldn't get it directly.

"I must get this position."

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Sheng's eyes. The storage room of the Yuanliang Dynasty was indeed a good place to go.

He was able to learn about the history of the Yuan and Liang dynasties from the vast amount of classics, and deduce secrets from just a few words.

After getting Mr. Chen's approval, Lu Wangsheng went back and officially started the operation, striving for smooth operation.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Half a day later.

A murderous aura was stirred up in the street where the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce was located. Two figures walked over. Although they were few in number, their power was strong and terrifying.

"In the past few days, the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce has changed its decadent state. This Lu Wangsheng is indeed a man of means."

Qing Huo's eyes were as bright as lightning. He saw from afar the atmosphere of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce. There was a constant stream of customers, and the servants who greeted and saw them off had happy expressions on their faces. It was a world of difference compared to the time when Lu Wangsheng was unconscious.

"It's a pity that we didn't accept it."

There was a look of condescension between Ma Xuezheng's brows. The entire Fencheng operated according to the will of the city lord. They were part of the rules and naturally superior.

Lu Wangsheng is a person who is excluded from the rules and will be eliminated.

"My two guests, could you please calm down a bit?"

The two men came with malicious intent, emitting a strong aura, and headed straight for the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce. A cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm came out and tried to persuade them with kind words.

"What should I do? Where can I discuss the truth with you?"

Qing Huo looked up and two rays of divine light shot out of his eyes, as if they were real and made the sound of metal.

"puff……"

The monk who tried to dissuade them was attacked by the gaze, his shoulder blades were cracked on both sides, bleeding, and he screamed in pain.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce returned to its coldness, silence and confusion.

"President, something happened."

Someone rushed in in a panic to report, telling the whole story in detail, saying that a powerful enemy was coming.

"The Lord of the Burning City can't wait any longer."

Lu Wangsheng murmured without any surprise. It was obvious that he had already expected that there would be a day when a conflict would occur.

"Father, what should I do?"

Lu Shaoqing recalled the time when Lu Wangsheng was in a coma. The entire Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce was in a gloomy mood and he himself was in danger of losing his job, so he became panic-stricken.

"It's nothing more than fighting back with troops and covering up with earth."

Lu Wangsheng felt heavy in his heart, but he did not lose his fighting spirit and said, "Han Fang, come with me."

He knew Qing Huo and Ma Xue Zheng. Although they were of poor character, their fighting abilities were definitely outstanding. He could not contend with them alone.

"I am willing to serve the president."

Han Fang said neatly.

He has worked in Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce for many years and has followed Lu Wangsheng for half his life. His feelings are different from those of others and he is willing to fight to the death.

The two men took a step forward, their breath heavy, and headed towards the Chamber of Commerce hall.

“You’re here…”

Qing Huo seemed to sense something and turned around to see Lu Wangsheng and Han Fang walking towards him one after the other with a confrontational attitude.

"Isn't it good to be harmonious?"

In the hall, Lu Wangsheng had a sigh on his face and was unwilling to compete. It was really the Lord of Fencheng who was too aggressive and made him uncomfortable.

"This is the thinking of the weak. If it remains unchanged, how can a lowly person like me rise up?"

Qing Huo was extremely disdainful of this. If he didn't fight for it, and was still in Baibao Tower trying to please others, how could he have become the rich man he is today?

"There's no point in talking any more. Just continue lying down."

Ma Xuezheng had the same idea. Lu Wangsheng was old, had lost his sharpness, and did not understand the cruelty of the world.

Then... let him wake the other person up.

"boom"

He swung his wide sleeves horizontally, like a roaring river or sea, shaking the void and causing a strong wind. The invisible magic power rolled like thunder and struck towards Lu Wangsheng's head.

“Don’t be rude.”

Han Fang stood out, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and with the spirit of Vajra immortality flowing through his body, he punched out with a punch that was like a strange divine iron, and hit Ma Xuezheng hard.

"Bang"

The aura of Jindan Zhenren flowed in the hall. Many luxurious decorations were all smoothed out. One object after another glowed, resisting the overflowing power.

"I'm talking to your master, it's not your turn to speak."

Ma Xuezheng's eyes were somewhat unfriendly. Although Han Fang was a Jindan Zhenren, in his eyes, he was just a subordinate of Lu Wangsheng and had no right to interfere.

"A son-in-law really thinks he is the master of a noble family."

Han Fang didn't like this condescending tone. Without much thought, he used words to hit Ma Xuezheng right in the lungs.

“Boom…”

A terrifying aura rushed out from Ma Xuezheng's body, like a cold current crossing the spine of a mountain range, swooping down from the sky, bringing coldness and murderousness to the entire sky.

He was furious.

The son-in-law's past was his weak spot and he didn't want to mention it, but Han Fang spoke of it openly and even mocked him intentionally, which made him furious.

"kill!"

As soon as Ma Xuezheng uttered the word, murderous intent burst out from his chest and condensed into a physical killing sword that flew out with unparalleled sharpness.

Han Fang clapped his hands, and his powerful magic power rolled like a rotating diamond, pressing down on the flying sword and crushing it.

"boom"

The loud bang shook people's souls.

Ma Xuezheng came charging forward, his body like a dragon and horse, galloping across the sky, twirling a large spear in his hand. With a single stab, he pierced through the ubiquitous ocean of spiritual energy, his attacking power extremely terrifying.

Han Fang felt a chill all over his body and did not dare to fight back. He retreated like a flying snake, but his hands were still moving. His magic sword made clanking sounds as it entangled with the spear that was coming towards him.

"drink"

Ma Xuezheng was unwilling to let him go. He poured his magic power into his spear. A dragon-like aura flew out with a flash of cold light, breaking Han Fang's sword force and sending him flying.
